Strawberry and goat cheese are the perfect pair in this kale salad!
Hi friends!
I’m on quite the strawberry kick lately. You can probably tell by the recent recipe selection. Cannoli Strawberries this week and now this! They are in season in South Carolina and I literally buy them by the buckets at the farmers market.
This is hands down one of my favorite parts of the year!
I eat them in plain, in cereal, pancakes, quick breads, cannoli’s
AND…
salads.
Kale, Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad to be exact.
This is hands down one of my favorite salad combos ever.
I even throw in a few fancy maracona almonds to really make this meal restaurant quality.
This is seasonal eating at its finest and something I will be enjoying until the berries run out.
Enjoy!
- 4 cups baby kale or kale mix
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced red onions about 1/4 of a small onion
- 1/4 cup salted maracona almonds can sub regular almonds
- 1/4 crumbled goat cheese
- Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 small lemon juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Carefully mix the kale, strawberries, onion and almonds together in a bowl.
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing.
- Fold the dressing over the salad.
- Carefully add the goat cheese. Half in the salad and half on top.
Maracona almonds can be pricey, so feel free to sub regular almonds or any nut you have on hand.
Thanks for stopping by today! Come back tomorrow for Fashion Friday! I’m sharing the dress I wore to a party at Barnsley Gardens.

I just love this fresh salad, it looks so good! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome recipe with Full Plate Thursday and come back real soon.
Have a great day,

Thanks Miz Helen! You are the best!
Simply delicious!! If only I didn’t just have to throw out the goat cheese because it expired we would be having it for dinner, I even saved strawberries (from little hands) to make a salad just like this for dinner.
Oh no!!! Hopefully you will have some fresh soon 🙂
Strawberries and goat cheese are the perfect combo!!
Totally! Great to see you today!
Thanks Amanda!! I agree.
I have never tried goat cheese with strawberries before! What a creative combination!
Oh!! So yummy! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by today!
Looks delicious!! Sounds like one of my favorite salad except I use pecans or walnuts, I will have to try it with almonds!
It is really tasty with almonds!
goat cheese is one of those things I always gravitate towards on a menu. I love it! This combo sounds so refreshing and summery. Yum!
Me too! If I see it I must have it!
Now I know what I’m gonna be doing with that little block of goat cheese in my fridge! <3 This looks awesome!
Thanks Farrah! Super yummy!
Hi Julie, thanks so much for adding this to the collection. If you would like a regular reminder about new Food on Fridays just drop me a line on [email protected]. Cheers
Thanks Carole!
Goat cheese pairs so well with fruit! Love the idea of this salad.
Thanks Jess! It’s a dream combo!
This looks beautiful and delicious! I love all berries as much as I dislike melons and yes, I love our local farmers market! Have a great day!
You sound like the hubs! He will not touch melon, but I can’t keep berries around him.
Hi Julie, I do hope you’ll come over to Food on Friday: Berries & Currants to add this to the recipe collection! Cheers from Carole’s Chatter
Hi Carole! I’ll see what I can do! Thanks for letting me know about the linkup!
Ooooo, these are three of my favorite things!! <3 – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
Thanks Gingi! Great to see you today! Your post title intrigues me!!! Heading over…
Strawberries and goat cheese are good with so many salads!
It’s a combo made in salad heaven, really!
This is my all time favorite flavor combo! But really the strawberries and goat cheese is what gets me! So fresh and light…yum!
I know… I have a special soft spot for that combination too.
Love kale, love strawberries, love goat cheese = GET IN MY BELLY! 🙂
Thanks Annmarie 🙂
You can’t go wrong with goat cheese – so good! This sounds like an awesome flavor combo! I can’t get enough strawberries either
Nope- goat cheese or feta makes everything better in my book!
I live for berries in the summer time. I’m all about that seasonal fruit! But raspberries are definitely my favorite. If I could shop at a Farmers market every week I would, but I only get to go on certain weekends when I have time – it’s not in my town and requires a bit of a drive. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe !!
Asheville has tailgate markets around town that are pretty awesome. So sorry you have to drive so far 🙁
Raspberries are pretty awesome too! YUM!
Looks good. We can’t do kale because of the high vitamin K count but one of the arugula mixes might work for us. We love strawberries, too. How about a strawberry salad with strawberry cannolies for a yum dessert…. THAT would be strawberry heaven, I’m sure!
Arugula or spinach would work great!
I just bought an new giant bucket of berries, so that just might be my meal plans this week 🙂
Yum! strawberries are so good right now.I love goat cheese. I have a kale recipe for this week too. It’s so versatile.
It is! I always feel uber health when I eat it 🙂
Oh heck yes! Easy, healthy and (I’m sure) delicious? I’m all over it. Thank you!
Yay! Thanks Allie! Great to see you today!
Yum! I’m going to edit today’s post and add your recipe 🙂
You rock!!! 🙂 Thank you for doing that! You made me feel really special today 🙂
I really enjoy strawberries too.
Yay! So yummy!
